Non-notable game. Before you ask, yes, I did look for sources. However, the only thing I found was forums, blogs, and passing-mentions in articles that are actually about Minecraft. I haven't found any articles about this game itself(the one this AfD is on). — Dædαlus ^Contribs 11:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

• It's true that Infiniminer was a relatively obscure game until it inspired the creation of Markus Persson's wonderfully addictive Minecraft. However, a redirect to Minecraft#Development is much more appropriate that just straight-out deleting it.--Hongkongresident (talk) 13:06, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
  • I would agree with the above. There's no indication that this article is worth keeping, and it would be better off in the Minecraft page, especially since the article is only one sentence long.Eldamorie (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
  • If I didn't make it clear in my last comment... Delete.--Eldamorie (talk) 15:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
• Delete. The only reliable sources that reference this game are passing mentions that it is the inspiration for Minecraft - and it is already mentioned as such in that article. There are no sources that provide significant coverage of this game itself, so unfortunately, it fails to meet notability requirements. -Addionne (talk) 15:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable at all. No significant independent, reliable coverage. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:47, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Redirect per Hongkongresident. There is no need to delete when a reasonable target exists.Hobit (talk) 03:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Not sure it's worth keeping as a redirect unless it is something people are likely to search for? -Addionne (talk) 01:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Given it's history wrt minecraft, I think it's likely a few folks will each month... Hobit (talk) 02:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

• Redirect to Minecraft#Development. Plausible search term in regards to the history of the game (Minecraft). --Teancum (talk) 15:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
